MugWump Fairness.

At Harvard University the students
have society called 1.-The Harvard Union
Debating Association" which is man
aged by corps of officers, selected from
the several classes. Early in the winter
the association debated one evening the
question. "Resolved, That the Civil Ser
vice policy of the Cleveland administra-
ton is failure" This was decided in
the affirmative, and soon after the asso-
citation by a vote decided to debate the
following question the last week in March,
Resolved. That the best interests of the
republican party demand the renomina-
ton of James G. Blaine" Public notice
was given of the discussion of this ques-
ton, and great interest centered in it,
because it is we'll known that the faculty
of Harvard college are thoroughly mug
wumpian.
The debate took place under the fol.
lowing rules of the Union: First, vote
was taken on the merits of the question,
then of the skill of the principal dis
putants. without regard to previous pre-
ferences, then on the opinions on the
whole number of speakers, both principals
and from the floor The President of the
Union distinctly stated at the beginning
of the debate that the two second votes
were simply in regard to the oratorical
abilities of the speaker. and in no sense
were an expression of the Union on the
original question. On the original
question Mr. Blaine received majority
of the votes cast. The votes thrown in the
negative represented democrats, mug
wumps, and republicans who had other
preferences, but would vote tor Mr.
Blaine if nominated. On the question of
the skill of the dlsputants it was decided
in favor of those who argued against the
nomination of Mr. Blaine. The sentiment
of the Union was overwhelming in favor
of MIR. Blaine. In announcing the result
of this debate, the Boston Herald, the
chlel organ ol tne ihug"uilps VI NE"
England. deliberately misstated the vote.
The executive officer of the society sent a
brief correction to the Herald. which the
Herald not only refused to print, but per-
sisted ia its original error. This is in
keeping with the theory of the mugwump
for he could not live moment if confined
to the truth This may be in and of itself
a small matter, but it only shows into
what degradation a leading newspaper
will 90 when it surrenders itself thorough
ly to the mugwumps.

New York Tribune I

To the Editor of the Tribune.
SIR: An editorial has appeared in The New
York Times. purporting to give the true re-
suit of the recent Harvard Union debate
The attempted correction of The Times is
erroneous in every particular. In the first
place, the procedure of the Harvard Union
is misstated; there are no votes "before de-
bate" and latter debate" The Union first
votes on the merits of a question; then on
the ability of the principal disputants as
speakers, without reference to personal pref
udces for or against the question; then on
the merits of the debate as a whole-that is,
with regard to the abilities of both the princ-
pal disputants and those who speak from the
floor. The president of the Union distinctly
stated that the two last votes had nothing to
do with personal preferences for or against
Mr.. Blaine.
Then the votes in The Times account are
wrong. The official record of the society ls ::
On the merits of Mr.. Blaine, 80 for him, II
for all others; on the skill of the principal
disputants, affirmative SO, negative ll2; on
the skill of the whole body of speakers,
affirmative 80, negative 81. 1t will thus be
seen that although Mr.. Blaine had less per-
suasive speakers in his behalf, he neverthe-
less carried the house 80 to II.
The Boston Herald had an erroneous re-
port, of which it would admit no correction to
its columns 1t persisted in misstating the
facts, though the sentiment of republicans,
mugwumps and democrats was all against its
course.
Furthermore. the account published in The
Tribune was correct in every particular. as
will appear from the official records of the
Harvard Union. If necessary, off GERS of the
Union will send statement signed to that
effect. Moreover, the keeper of the records
is is a bitter anti-Blaine man This ought to
satisfy The Times as to their correctness.
The course OF The Boston Herald has met
with universal censure here, even among
mugwumps. and The New York Times, in
copying it, has simply foundered in the
original error. Use my name if you wish.
